London, Olinda, Waterloo, Toronto First, Neighbourhood, Mississauga, Peterborough, Don Heights and Hamilton participated in a minister shuffle where each minister spoke on the same topic, “working together.” Each of the participating ministers wrote one of the service elements which were shared in common.
